VMware VCA Digital Business Transformation (VCA-DBT) 國際認可證書課程

根據 IDC – Worldwide Cloud Systems Management Software Market Shares 最新出版的研究報告指出，VMware 出品的雲端系統管理軟件持續多年成為行業內首位，並於近年來全球營收達到約 7.5 億美元 (即約 $58.5 億港元)。詳見下表：

“VMware's continued market leadership and growth reflected the company's ongoing efforts to offer customers a unified approach to cloud management monitoring, analytics, and automation.

Since the introduction of vCloud Suite and the launch of vSphere with operations management, VMware has used its management software portfolio to differentiate vSphere and help maintain overall corporate revenue growth, even as its core hypervisor market has matured and standalone hypervisor sales have flattened.

As many enterprises have opted to build private clouds using VMware technology, the company's management offerings have been widely deployed into cloud environments.” --- by IDC

VMware 的跨雲架構 (Cross-Cloud Architecture) 為客戶提供了雲的自由和控制。該架構利用新的公共和私有雲功能實現了 VMware 的混合雲端 (Hybrid Cloud) 策略，使客戶能夠在常用的操作環境和設備運行、管理、連接和保護其應用程序。

VMware 的跨雲架構為所有內部部署及雲端部署的商業應用程序 (Applications) 提供一致的部署方式、安全策略、可見性和管理規範 (Visibility & Governance)。

本課程將為學員逐一教授形成 VMware 的跨雲架構重要元素，例如 Software Defined Data Center (SDDC)、Software Defined Storage (SDS)、Software Defined Network (SDN)、Software as a Service (Saas)、Desktop as a Service (DaaS) 等等混合雲中心必用的技術，令學員對今時今日的混合雲端運作擁有根基而重要的知識！
